I'd tell myself you don't mean a thing"

"I'm leaving " I said picking up all of my belongings. Today was the day that I see Jack and I couldn't be more excited.  "What ?" Zoe  said now turning around facing me. " Don't ask and certainly do not tell your brother " I explained , walking out of the kitchen  heading for the front door. " Look my taxi is here now just go back inside please" I told Zoe who was standing just outside the door, she manged to run ahead of me. we managed a small hug before letting go, but I could tell she wasn't coping. I placed all my bags in the boot of the car, seeing Zoe had already walked back inside the house, as I jumped in the back of the taxi i did not look back. 

"Hello "  I said smiling against my phone. "morning beautiful, you in the taxi now ? can't wait to see you again " I smiled leaning against the window  into my phone hearing Jack so excited , it made everything so real. " yes , I'm in the taxi now babe and me too I'm buzzing." Jack and I spoken for a couple more hours till I was sleepy " I'm sleepy now Jack i'm gonna hang up now " I was leaning to my side getting comfortable ready to fall asleep when Jack said three words that I never thought to hear again " okay see you soon I love you " As I realized what he had said Jack already hanged up.

Joe's POV:

I turn on my side ready to wrap  my arms around her body , to only caused me to fall flat on my face. I rubbed my eyes to see that she wasn't in bed with me. Remembering exactly what happened last night , I had told both Zoe and Alfie that me and Moxie " were in love " yet I was the one who broke things up with her. I finally got up heading downstairs , not even bothering to check any other room for her . The whole kitchen was so quiet , Zoe was sat at the bar eating her breakfast. " Morning " I said with tiredness still in my voice. My sister said nothing but stood up to clear her bowl. We both ignore each other which was unlikely of us as we would normally start talking, but something felt different.I watched her walk out of the kitchen , as I made breakfast for myself. The tiredness got to the best of me that I made two lots of cereal's forgetting that I broken up with her. I ate quietly seeing that nobody was around. I finished up nicely leaving that spare bowl on the counter knowing she wasn't coming back.

My phone went crazy this morning, as text after text and a couple of emails, were coming through.  Whilst  checking my heart sunken as there was no messages from her. But why would I care ? I leaned across the counter running my fingers through my hair in frustration , it was getting into a habit of  doing this , when things didn't go right . I would often  do this it was like  some sort of comfort but in this case I felt numb. Going through different social media platforms I ended up on my contact's list  , I grazed my finger on her number wanting to call her but i just didn't have then courage to do it. 

Moxie's POV:

"Miss " I hear someone say it must of been the driver , as I opened my eyes to see that the car had stopped outside a building. I unbuckled my seat belt getting out of the car shutting the door behind me. Taking  my bags from Tom ,  thanking him  as   I headed straight to the building in front of me. When I realized where I was , it was in fact Joe's house, it was like something or someone  was telling me to go back to Joe every time, but in this case  I wanted to go back to Jack. Sighing I entered the building up to Joe's flat, this was just too weird for my liking, Going through the building and taking the lift knowing that the stairs will kill me ,  I  texted Jack where I was but there was no response from him. With bags in had I had  luckily remembered  I had a spare key with me , opening the door I dropped everything onto the floor heading towards mine and Joe's bedroom  , I guess this is where I belong.

Joe's POV:

I was still in the same place for almost an hour and a half. My entire body ached from standing up and leaning against the counter for far too long.  I soon realized what happened but couldn't be bothered to fix things " she's better off without me " I thought . My own sister isn't talking to me so what's the point. I tugged on my hair multiple times to the point where you could tell something had happened. In anger I grabbed the nearest thing to me and thrown it across the room. "Dude , you okay " It was Alfie. He had walked in, jumping at the sound of the  object that had been thrown across the room. I looked at him searching for something but there was nothing.  I was broken.

" I fucking miss her !" I yelled grabbing onto my hair

"Then go after her " Alfied replied picking up the broken pieces off the floor looking at me. 

I stayed quiet but it hurt so much that I needed to let her go.

Will Joe find her again ? 

Is this really the end for Moxie and Joe?
